Timothy Dalton News

Jeremy Renner isn't playing Jason Bourne, but he's taking over the Bourne franchise for Matt Damon in The Bourne Legacy. Renner's also not the first actor or actress to become the new face of a franchise. Here are 10 other franchise recasts:

Bruce Banner - Eric Bana/Edward Norton/Mark Ruffalo: Bana signed for three Hulk films, but was replaced by super fan Norton when Marvel re-acquired the rights. Norton re-wrote The Incredible Hulk and starred in a hit, but was unable to come to a deal when a role in The Avengers was available. Ruffalo filled in, and was given positive reviews.

I have to say up front that I adore "The Rocketeer." I even remember where first I saw it – at the famed Stanley Theater on Granville Street in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. With its neoclassical interior and art deco exterior, it was the perfect place to see a film with such an equally memorable and magical art design like "The Rocketeer." (Though sadly the theater closed down soon after – they don't make ‘em like they used to!) Well, Joe Johnston’s classic comic book-come-to-life "The Rocketeer" is hitting it’s 20th Anniversary with a new Blu-ray Edition (out Dec. 13 from Walt ...

In case you missed it, NBC's Chuck is moving to Fridays for its final season beginning October 28. To prepare you for the end of one of TV's cult hits, Warner Home Video recently released the complete fourth season on Blu-Ray and DVD. Here's an evaluation of the Blu-Ray edition.

The Show

I reviewed Chuck throughout the fourth season, and on second glance, my opinions haven't changed all that much. There are a lot of things that work, and some that just don't - which makes it pretty much like every other TV series out there. I have yet to see any show have a perfect season. What ...

Mel Gibson's lawyer has disputed reports the son of the actor's ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigoreiva is set for a $100,000 windfall to stop him from suing the actor over a heated fight between the former couple in 2009.

The Hollywood star split from Grigorieva, the mother of his daughter Lucia, early last year and she went on to accuse the actor of beating her in a violent domestic dispute.

Her teenage son Alexander Dalton, from her relationship with former James Bond star Timothy Dalton, was reportedly present during the altercation, although he is not thought to have actually witnessed the...

Chuck played by the numbers: it set up a big event (Chuck and Sarah's wedding) for its big finale, an episode which you can consider even bigger as we now know it also sets the table for the show's fifth and final season. It wasn't the whiz-bang finale I was expecting after all the hype, but it was one that was true to what the show stands for, and that's good enough for me.

To save Sarah, Team Bartowski must get the antidote she needs from Alexei Volkoff, which pits them against hardened CIA operative Clyde Decker (Richard Burgi of Desperate Housewives and The Sentinel). True to...

I wouldn't want to be Vivian Volkoff. Especially not since she's evil these days.

The CIA has fingered her as personally responsible for the bombs planted in Castle last time out, and tagged her for assassination. Vivian pleads innocence, and Chuck is forced to turn to her father, Alexei (Timothy Dalton, still in fine form) to help prove it, starting with finding all the components of a weapon she unearthed in his arsenal. This takes them to Somalia (hello, blatant Windows Live product placement!), where one piece is in the hands of a gambling-addicted pirate. It's pretty funny to se...

After the first photos of Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp shooting a movie together in Venice surfaced online a few months ago, the buzz began to increase about their upcoming film, "The Tourist." Today, the first trailer was released and now we can all get a glimpse of what the early buzz was about. Watch it below!

The film, a remake of the 2005 French film "Anthony Zimmer," centers on an American tourist (Depp) who travels to Italy to mend his broken heart. During his trip he meets a mysterious woman (Jolie) - and not by coincedence - who uses him to get to a criminal with whom she once h...

Mel Gibson may have incurred the wrath of a former James Bond after taking aim at Timothy Dalton's son in the latest taped rant targeting the boy's mother.

Gibson's reputation has taken a severe lashing after the taped rages were leaked to website RadarOnline.com. On the tapes, a male voice which sounds distinctively like Gibson's can be heard hurling expletives and abuse at his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva. And, in the latest release, he turns on Grigorieva's skills as a mom to Dalton's 12-year-old son Alexander.

He rages, "Look at what you've done, look at your son, he's a f**king ...

There was little question that many of D23's many participants were mainly there to see the exclusive clips John Lasseter previewed from Toy Story 3. Lasseter himself said he had been thinking about this movie since 1999, when his team was working on the second installment. In many film series, especially ones that start production years after the originals, the young actors have to be recast as they age. However, Disney has rarely seemed to subscribe to this seemingly cruel Hollywood rule (Eric Lloyd appears as a somewhat surly teenager in The Santa Clause 2 and then comes back for a cameo...

According to the May 18th issue of the National Enquirer, Mel Gibson's new squeeze might have a "bun in the oven."

Oksana Grigorieva, who already has an 11-year-old son with Bond actor Timothy Dalton, could be three months pregnant.

Apparently this news doesn't sit well with Mel's two oldest son's Edward and Christian, a source tells NE "They are quite upset," and plan to hire attorneys to protect they're inheritance. Also, Mel's wife Robyn who filed for divorce in April, wanted to have a clean break with her husband now plans to "get as much of his money as she possibly ca...

The movie Duplicity starring Clive Owen and Julia Roberts hit theaters this weekend. In the film, Owen, a former MI-6 agent, and Roberts, a former CIA agent, work together on a project, but neither feels they can completely trust each other. The word duplicity means to conceal one's true intentions by deceptive words or actions, and the title seems very fitting. The release is sure to be one of the more popular movies of the spring, and it got Starpulse thinking about the best spy movies.

One of the most entertaing spy movies is Arnold Schwarzenegger's True Lies, where he plays ...

This Friday, Sir Ian Fleming's James Bond is back in theaters. Daniel Craig has brought a brute anger to the role that has not quite been seen before. In the very least, as we learned in the 2006 version of Casino Royale, he certainly does not care any longer how his martini is served. Craig is under contract for one more Bond film after Quantum of Solace, but what if he does not return after that twenty-third film? What will his post Bond career look like? Let's take a look at all the actors who have played 007 -- rouge film, or not -- and what their post Bond careers looked like.

With the release of Roger Moore's autobiography, My Word Is My Bond, and the upcoming Quantum Of Solace (the 22nd film in the Official James Bond franchise), we couldn't help but ponder: Who is the best 007 EVER? It goes without saying that he has to be an international man of mystery, a bad-ass crime solver, a babe magnet. Slick, suave, and seductive. But we have our own set of criteria for the best Bond. He must also:

There are some movies that live forever in the minds of humanity generation after generation. They span decades, continents, and cross racial and gender divides. What creates that certain magic is intangible, but it inevitably involves the memorable quotes that make their way into pop culture and every day speech.

These quotes have a universal quality, whether humorous or tragic, and they take you back to that exact moment in the film when Marlon Brando screams into the air or Humphrey Bogart gently touches Ingrid Bergman's chin. These iconic moments are not only remembered but consta...

A full-throttle action comedy that packs as many laughs as it does punches, Hot Fuzz comes to DVD and HD DVD Combo Disc on July 31, 2007 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment.

From Rogue Pictures and Working Title Films, and created by the same off-the-wall team that produced the wildly successful zombie laugh-fest Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz puts a wickedly witty spin on action films. An exciting and hilarious homage to buddy cop movies, Hot Fuzz reteams Shaun of the Dead stars Simon Pegg (Mission: Impossible III) and Nick Frost alongside a stellar acting ensemble that includes ...

Hot Fuzz is the action-packed new comedy from the makers of the hit movie Shaun of the Dead. With the same razor-sharp combination of humor and attention to detail they used to breathe new life into the undead, Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright have set their sights on action movies for their next uniquely funny vision.

Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is the finest cop London has to offer, with an arrest record 400% higher than any other officer on the force. He's so good, he makes everyone else look bad. As a result, Angel's superiors send him to a place where his talents won't be quite so emba...

Actor Daniel Craig assumes the role formerly occupied by such screen greats as Sean Connery, Roger Moore, and Timothy Dalton to set out on the character's very first 007 mission. James Bond has earned his "00" status by masterfully executing a pair of death-defying professional assassinations. Continue Summary...

Legendary James Bond star Sean Connery has given the new 007 his seal of approval - calling Daniel Craig a "terrific choice". The veteran actor - who played the suave spy in six Bond films, including, first movie Dr. No, Goldfinger and Diamonds Are Forever - insists the latest star picked to don the famous tuxedo will do the role proud. He said: "Craig's a great choice, really interesting - different. He's a good actor. It's a completely new departure."

It seems there is mutual respect between the Craig and Connery, 75. After accepting the role in new movie "Casino Royale," Craig insis...
